INTEGRATED APPROACH TO EARLY DIAGNOSIS ODONTOGENETIC CYSTIC JAWS VARIOUS ORIGINS , ARE PRONE TO RECURENCE AND AGRESIVE INFILTRATIVE GROWTH

This work was devoted to improve the effectiveness of early diagnosis and treatment of patients with cystic odontogenic jaws of various origins, are prone to relapse and aggressive infiltrative growth. Of the 110 cases analyzed, the most common type of inflammatory cysts were radicular cysts (76.4%) and cysts with signs of keratinization of the epithelium (23,6%). Average age – 35,2 years. The peak incidence (47,3%) was recorded in the fourth decade in age from 41 to 60 years. The overall ratio of male to female ratio was 1:1.3.

Background and Objectives: Strabismus is a condition in which there is misalignment of visual axes of two eyes. Concomitant strabismus is a condition in which the angle of deviation is constant in all the directions of gaze. Concomitant strabismus is further classified as convergent, divergent, hyperdeviation and hypodeviation. Major presenting complaints include cosmetic blemish, diminution of vision, asthenopic symptoms like headache, eye strain and diplopia. This study was conceptualized to study the clinical and ophthalmological profile of patients with concomitant strabismus, in order to generate evidence to manage this condition more effectively. Material and Methods : This cross-sectional, observational study was conducted over a period of two years in 120 patients with concomitant strabismus. Ocular history and visual acuity were recorded. Cover, cover-uncover, alternate cover test, Hirschberg test, Krimsky test and examination by synaptophore were done. Refraction and fundus examination was also done. Result: Majority of the patients were under 5 years of age (46.6%) with male to female ratio of 2:3. Convergent squint was more common (71.6%) with majority of patients having moderate degree of deviation (58.8%). Hypermteropia was more commonly associated with squint (65%) more so with convergent squint. Eccentric fixation was present in only 10% of the cases. Conclusion: Convergent concomitant squint is more common type with majority of patients having moderate degree of deviation. Hypermetropia is more commonly associated with concomitant squint. Appropriate refraction and timely intervention can help in preventing amblyopia in young children

Uveitis is the inflammation of the anterior, intermediate, or posterior uvea, the pigmented part of the eye. Uveitis can be infectious or non-infectious presented as autoimmune and immune-mediated. Non-infectious uveitis is the most common type of uveitis. It can be idiopathic or secondary to systemic diseases. Differential diagnosis is important, if early diagnosis and treatment are not applied, permanent eye damage can occur. In this review, an overview of non-infectious uveitis is examined with the mechanism, immunopathology, and classification.

AbstractTo describe the presentation pattern and challenges with the management of pediatric neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) in Ile-Ife, Nigeria through retrospective review of their clinical records. We recruited 24 children aged 14 days to 15 years with a male preponderance (male-to-female ratio = 2.4:1). Late presentation was a prominent feature which was highest among children with myopathies with a mean duration of symptoms of 46.5 ± 33.4 months before presentation. Peripheral neuropathy was the most common type of NMDs (63.0%). Among these, injection nerve palsy from the use of wrong site for intramuscular injections was the most common (60.0%). Nonavailability of electrophysiologic and genetic testing as well as appropriate medications was the major challenges. Acquired NMDs are common in our setting. There is a need to improve preventive measures of acquired NMDs and early diagnosis of the inherited types.

Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, continues to be a complex condition to assess and treat, particularly in young children. Nevertheless, early diagnosis and treatment of ADHD are crucial because early intervention may help attenuate or even prevent certain undesirable effects in the lives of children and their families. This article provides a description of the disorder as manifested by children under five years of age. This is followed by a discussion of diagnostic issues. Finally, an integrated approach to treatment is suggested.

A Prospective Study

Background: Obstructive jaundice poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This study was undertaken to highlight the clinical and radiological assessment of obstructive jaundice in our setting and to approach for early diagnosis and treatment before irreversible tissue insult sets in.Methods: Present study was prospective study conducted at Maharishi Markandeshwar Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Mullana, Ambala. Data were collected on prescribed proforma and analyzed stastically.Results: A total of 50 patients were studied. It is more common in productive adult with the mean age of 51.04±12.40 years. The male to female ratio was 1:1.08. Majority of the patients were having benign pathology (62%) and choledocholithiasis was the commonest benign cause. Abdominal ultrasound was the diagnostic imaging done in all patients and revealed dilated CBD (>1 cm) in 78% cases, dilated IHBR in 96%of cases and multiple CBD stones in 78.3% of cases. CT was reserved for suspected malignant and MRCP was planned in stone or benign causes. 70% patients were selected for ERCP and 62% of patients underwent definitive open procedure viz choledocholithotomy (40%), hepaticojejunostomy (12%).Conclusions: Obstructive jaundice in our study was more prevalent in females and the cause is mostly CBD stones. The result suggests that early diagnosis and treatment plays vital role in the prognosis of patients with obstructive jaundice.

Male To Female

Background: Orbital complications are fairly common in Otorhinolaryngology practice because of close proximity of orbit to adjacent ENT regions. Orbital complications must be suspected whenever ENT patients present with complaints of proptosis, diplopia, vision loss and epiphora. Early diagnosis and treatment is necessary to prevent morbidity and mortality in these patients.Methods: This prospective study was conducted in the ENT department for a period of 1 year from August 2016 to July 2017 and comprised of 38 cases. This study was conducted to see the incidence, etiology, clinical, radiological and histopathological profile in relation to ophthalmic complications in ENT diseases. Results: Male to female ratio was 1.71:1. Patients mean age at presentation in present study was 39.71±19.86 (SD) years and maximum number of cases 10 (26.32%) were between 41-50 years of age. Among 38 patients of our series, most common clinical presentation was proptosis followed by nasal obstruction. Commonest ENT diseases responsible for orbital complications were the different sinonasal tumours comprising 18 cases, in which carcinoma maxilla constituted 6 cases.Conclusions: In conclusion, correct diagnosis, adequate antibiotic therapy, and surgical intervention are important for management of orbital and ophthalmic complications. Cooperation between Ophthalmologist and the Otolaryngologist is clearly desirable for proper management of these cases.
